Nobody Gets Out AliveNobody gets out alive.
So let’s talk about it.
How well we live matters as much as how long we live, especially at the end. This show is about having that conversation sooner, calmer, and on purpose.
What you’ll hear
Honest, plain talk about dying and the care around it. It is not about giving up, and it is not about telling anyone what to choose.
Who this is for
Patients and families, and the clinicians who care for them. Anyone who would rather talk about this now than in a hospital hallway.
Who makes it
Shelly Shoultes, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner who works in cardiac care, where these decisions get made. More about Shelly.

The Conversation We Keep Avoiding
Every one of us is going to die, and most of us will do almost anything to avoid talking about it. This episode is about making those decisions sooner, calmer, and on purpose.
If you only do one thing
Have one small conversation with one person this week. The start the conversation page has the words. The FAQ and the library answer the questions families ask: advance directives, health care proxies, DNR and DNI, palliative care and hospice.
